The Top 7 Ways You Can Help Save The Environment

As we all know Global warming is a major issue in today's society and we need to take an initiative and help make our world a"Greener" place.

What you can do to help:
1... To help lessen the CO2 emissions in the air that contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer you can use alternate ways of transportation by walking, biking, car pooling, and public transit buses.
2...When you go shopping take reusable bags with you to lessen the amount of plastics in our landfills because plastics take years to decay.
3...Grow plants that are indigenous to your area to help the environment
4...Turn off any lights or appliances when not in use to help save energy
5...Get rid of any old appliances in your house because they give off CFC into the atmosphere that are harmful and contribute to global warming.
6...Create a compost and put your food or plant scraps into it.
7...When purchasing items at the store buy the ones with less packaging so there is less garbage in our local landfills.
